What BCRPA Fitness Leaders are saying
-
“As a fitness educator and Trainer of Fitness Leaders with the BCRPA for over 35 years I encourage all my students to register with BCRPA. BCRPA’s course criteria is recognized as some of the best in the country. The courses we’ve developed ensure our students have all the education they need to be great fitness professionals.”

-
“One of my favourite parts of BCRPA’s Fitness program is the in-person instructor competency practical exams (ICE’s) for weight training and personal training. These give candidates the chance to take their instructor skills and knowledge to the next level by demonstrating their one-on-one training abilities. There is no other certification program in North America that does this. BCRPA’s training is on a higher level and produces excellent, job-ready instructors.”
André Potvin, BCRPA Registered Trainer of Fitness Leaders (Group Training, Weight Training, Personal Trainer), Vancouver
